375ml bottle from Whole Paycheck. Actually $2 cheaper than my local. Stupid. Low-ball glass @home. Glugs out like it's a bit viscous. Small head, weak, quickly dissipating. Still, uniformly cloudy, fruit punch, of the Minute Maid variety. Smell is a base of funked, browned, sour apples along with a second weaker note of cherry twang that deepens the longer it sits. Lots of sweet cherry meat & pith infused into a horsey, wild cider. Sour cherry balances nicely & helps subdue the vinegary apple stew. Lingering cherry skin prickliness is nice. Dry, very weak carbonation, goopy/syrupy feel, lots of sludge left in the bottle. Noticing how acidic this was after the fact. Really needs more bubbles. Looks like this was better on tap maybe. Surprisingly okay.

On tap at Tree Rock, pours a clear pink, no head. Nose brings out subdued tart cherries, crisp apple skins, and farmhouse funk. Flavour is similar, with farmhouse funk, subdued tart cherries and mustiness. Dry and funky. Nicely made.
